Do You Wanna Dance?

When I was a girl, I recall times my sisters and I would pretend to be dancing with an imaginary partner. We would hold our hands out into the air as if he was really there with us, dancing to classical music. Sometimes we would get so wrapped up in what we were doing, we would bump into each other and end of giggling. Those were fun memories.

My older sister and I use to know how to do all the dances in the time of our youth. It will probably age me, but it was dances to Dick Clarke's show on ABC's, 'American Bandstand', Saturday morning television. Before his rock'neve show in Time Square. I learned how to do the swim, the Freddie, the monkey and the twist, not to mention all the other dances popular for that time. It was a blast!

Now, we tend to watch "Dancing with the Stars" and drool at the sight of the beautiful costumes or dance routines. I have never been, but my sisters actually joined a ballroom dance class and really enjoyed it.

So, I have to ask... do you like to dance? Who wouldn't like having a partner such as the late Patrick Swayze, right girls? How sexy was he in the movie: "Dirty Dancing"?

Although I or my sisters were not allowed to go to our proms in high school, due to old-fashioned religious beliefs, it was still our passion to want to dance. It is amazing how many styles of dance are actually out there. How many classes you can take at dance studios, or lounges you can go to and dance, isn't it? I even tried line dancing at a local truck stop.

You have to admit, there is a beauty in the art of dance. No matter what the syle of dance or routine it is. Dancing in the rain or on the beach, or where ever you are...makes you feel good, at least in the moment. So just try kicking up your heels and just dance.  It is not only good exercise, but you might just be surprised how refreshed after it, you actually feel!

Wish I could dance .... but at least I try not to step on my partner's toes when someone drags me on to the floor and I shuffle around trying to sway my body to the beat... A couple of drinks under the belt do help, you know! :)

Did you know if you let your partner ride on your feet, you will never step on her toes? :)Yes, something to calm the nerves helps to give us courage to do what we normally would not be comfortable doing alone. The fact that you even try, says a lot for you. ;)

I'm glad you enjoyed the hub and pictures Duchess OBlunt. I am not a great dancer, it is just that I love to dance. It gives one a freedom I think to express themselves in a different realm. :)Thanks for stopping by.
